There was a follow-up message from the stranger who had taken Hans captive.
"Don't try to report to the police," The stranger concluded. The unknown number then blocked Luci's number after the stranger's last text message was sent to Luci.
"Damn!" cursed the girl. It's already two in the morning. They prepared everything thoroughly. Luci then ran to the car and started driving again towards the address that had been mentioned.
Luci had never been to the area because the area was known to be dangerous and prone to crime. 'So are these all pure evildoers?' Luci thought.
Then she thought, 'If this is a pure criminal they must immediately demand a ransom, right? But this is not. They just asked me to come, or else they would kill Hans.'
'There's something wrong here. Do I need to report to the police? No, maybe they've been following me and if I report them it turns into danger too,' Luci thought again.
The girl almost cried behind the steering wheel. She regretted not having many friends. She used to have it but now it's all gone since Daniel's death.
Aunt Arum had been shouting to everyone that it was Luci who killed Daniel. Now Luci had no friends anymore. And Luci's partner couldn't be involved here.
"If I die today, it doesn't matter. But I can't let Hans die. They didn't specify what their wish was either," Luci muttered to herself.
With the position still driving the girl thought carefully. Then she found a possibility that was quite reasonable. And if that's true then this could be dire.
"I suspect that this is all the work of Mr. Philip." Mr. Philip was one of her retired clients who almost sent her to jail, just because she refused to give her body to the sixty-year-old businessman.
"But this is a bit sudden if indeed Mr. Philip is the culprit. Because I didn't get any warning from that guy. Usually, Mr. Philip would express his intentions first.
After he does not get what he wants then he will give a warning. And if he still doesn't get what he wants then he will seriously threaten."
The city's street lights had passed a lot and the lights of the buildings were almost gone. The address given to Luci was called the Evil Fort, one of the places on the outskirts of the city that had a dark world.
Everyone knew there was a center and a city rather than a criminal. But unfortunately, the place was protected by law because the perpetrators could afford to pay exorbitant fees to the authorities.
That's the law here. In addition, they had also signed another agreement that there should be no violence and murder in that place. If they obeyed the law, they wouldn't do anything to Hans.
The lush trees began to pass and Luci accelerated the car. This place was very easy to pass.
Anything could happen including robbery and murder because this area had not officially entered the Evil Fort area.
"What kind of rule is that," Luci squeaked.
After about ten minutes of driving at such lightning speed, she finally stopped her car in a dimly lit complex with a sturdy and clean building.
Along with this complex, there would be many commercial workers waiting in front of their respective buildings. Some even had lovemaking outside the building. Luci strengthened her will.
Her body descended carefully. She carried her backpack, some of the money from the backpack she took out, and hid under the car seat.
When she came out the mashers rushed to her and tried to seduce her. Luci squared off with her fists and feet.
"I have business in this place," Luci growled in her trembling voice.
After dealing with Mr. Philip, who had almost raped her in the past, the girl was very sensitive to men who see her lustfully. Now at least four men were approaching her.
"Come on Sweetie, you must be looking for satisfaction, right? We can help you, Sweetie," one of them chuckled with his hand on Luci's chin.
Luci shook the man's hand, the smell of alcohol wafted everywhere. Then one of them pulled Luci and almost touched Luci's body until finally someone came and pulled Luci.
"She has business with Golden," said the man. When Luci looked up he found another man who this time was wearing a white shirt combined with a black vest.
If the four men in front of Luci looked full of beards, it was different from this man who had pulled his arm, his face tended to be clean even though the smell of cigarette smoke was very strong from his mouth.
"Go – Golden? Eh, we – we don't know. Sorry, sorry we don't know," stuttered one of the people who almost touched Luci's body earlier.
"Okay, I'll deliver your apologies to him," said the man in the waistcoat beside Luci. Now he grabbed Luci's arm and dragged the girl somewhere.
"I – I – I – uh," Luci stuttered.
Luci was starting to get scared now especially after seeing this place so gloomy and lonely. The sound of disco music was still audible, but after a while it's quiet. She was quite brave in front of her clients. But she was also a normal girl, who had many gaps in her.
Many commercial workers, many men with beards were drunk, and not infrequently they were already strewn on the streets. Syringes were scattered in several places.
This really was a hotbed of criminals, and how could Hans be involved here and how could Luci be involved here.
"I was asked to come here because I wanted to pick up a child," Luci explained in her pitiful squeak. But the man didn't answer.
Now the two of them had entered a bar door. People danced tightly inside.
Twinkling lights swept across the room and people were still toasting each other. Some were making out in a chair and they had even taken off their clothes.
A woman was approaching the black vest man who was dragging Luci. Her clothes were very short and sexy in bright red, as bright as the lipstick she was wearing. Her body was slim and she deliberately dropped the clothes she was wearing.
"Max, come on honey let's party," the woman teased. Her eyes drooped as she spoke and her body wobbled and sometimes nearly fell. And it didn't take long for the woman to fall.
"A drunkard who doesn't know the rules!" squeaked the man named Max, then he pulled Luci back. Meanwhile, the girl backed away carefully protecting the backpack filled with money which she was holding tightly to now.
The two of them entered many rooms, Luci even forgot to count them. The road was winding by passing through many corridors.
Along the way, some people were making love. And along the way, Luci was not told where she was going now.
Then she was stopped in a room at the very end of the gloomy side. The door was slowly opened by the man in the black vest named Max. Luci's body was simply thrown into it.
As a result, Luci fell on the floor and when she was about to ask why she was being pushed, the door was already closed by Max.
The confused Luci finally almost got up and stood up but she stopped being scared after someone pointed a gun at her head.
"Do not move!"
